This blog does not normally report, nor pay much attention to, current events, except as they illustrate the long sweep of history. But, there is a bunch of stuff happening now. Four demons doing a weak-ass imitation of the the four horsemen of the apocalypse are on their way. First and foremost for me is that the heat on crypto currency is going up, and it looks like the blood …

sudden swerve in the path to the left singularity
The Cathedral has abandoned the Awesome and Mighty Covid Demon narrative, and the innocent peaceable dark skinned joggers capriciously attacked by white predators for no apparent reason narrative, in favor of the universal support for war against Russia narrative. You think censorship has eased? The internet connections with Russia are being cut. A precondition for war with Russia is getting enough people to be inside the war bubble. YouTube is …
What our enemies revealed in the fall of Kabul
Newt Gingrich: “Sad not a single women’s group on the left is up in arms about Afghanistan.” Of course not. Feminism and female emancipation is merely a shit test, and women love men who pass their shit tests, and hate men who fail them. Reflect on the savage hatred that feminists bear against Greek letter fraternities and rich and famous movie producers who fail to rape them, with their eager …
The fall of the Republic
PJ Media correctly observes of the botched and disorderly retreat from Afghanistan: This ensures that the catastrophe, rather than diminishing, has only just begun. It will not end when the last qualified person leaves Kabul but when the U.S. political system has found a constitutional way to clean house. Compare and contrast with the orderly and dignified Soviet retreat from Aghanistan. A constitutional house cleaning is unlikely to be practical, …
Where we are now
A survey of the talking heads talking about the fall of Kabul confirms that our major military objective in Afghanistan was to teach nine year old girls to put a condom on a banana. I am happy about the fall of Kabul, because Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires. It is where empires go to die, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that the enemy of your enemy is …
Kabul has fallen
It has not quite officially fallen yet, at least not officially as I post, but this is normality bias, plus the fact that it is taking a while for the Taliban leadership to move from Pakistan to Kabul. Due to normality bias, six thousand US troops are due to arrive, and six hundred British troops are arriving, which could result in interesting events, as official reality encounters actual guns, in …
The ISI, with the help of America, defeated America.
The Taliban exists because Pakistan sponsors it. Since Pakistan has nukes, everyone preferred to not notice this. Lieutenant General Hamid Gul, Pakistani Military intelligence, the ISI, accurately foresaw what is now happening in Afghanistan as I post this: when Afghanistan’s history came to be written, it would record that the ISI, with the help of America, defeated the Soviet Union. And next, historians would record that the ISI, with the …
Where we go from here
Electoral politics is dead, though its corpse will continue to be paraded about for a considerable time. It will not be revived for a very long time, for a live Republic requires a virtuous elite, and creating a virtuous elite is a project that requires a virtuous King, and a few generations. I hoped and prayed that Trump would retain power – either as president, or as leader of the …
Now we are in trouble
It is not over till the fat lady sings on January 20th, but things do not look good. We inevitably lost because our people did not have legitimate authority to use lethal force, and the other side did. In order to grant our people legitimate authority to use lethal force, Trump needs to proclaim the insurrection act and call out the militia. I was hoping that yesterday would provide a …
Election fraud hearings
I normally do not comment on current events, because in the long run, they seldom matter. What is important is the long term direction, which can only be seen by looking backwards, usually a very long way backwards. But, today, a crisis point comes that will make a great difference. If Pence carries out his promise to hear the evidence of election fraud, if he is able to carry out …
